Description

The Golden Primer

Author: Prof J.M.D. Meikljohn and Walter Crane

Hard cover. As new condition. 2010 Edition

The Golden Primer, authored by Professor J.M.D. Meiklejohn and illustrated by Walter Crane, is a seminal Victorian-era educational book first published in 1884. Designed to teach young children how to read, it employs interactive methods that remain influential today, such as encouraging readers to engage with words and images, identify printed words within illustrations, and construct sentences using rhyming verse. The primer is renowned for Crane's vibrant color wood engravings, which accompany the text on facing pages, enhancing the learning experience through visual storytelling. Meiklejohn's 13-step "Method of Teaching the Golden Primer" is outlined on the book's endpapers, providing a structured approach to literacy education. This collaboration between Meiklejohn and Crane exemplifies the integration of pedagogical innovation and artistic excellence in 19th-century children's literature.
